P4 and P13. Those residential streets which they run along would benefit from the lack of noise from those vehicles.

Right now, anything is an improvement for the P4 just to see the back of those awful Enviro 200's and I'm no fan of electric buses  Off topic but it really should be converted to deckers, however it is unlikely to ever happen baring some kind of diversion away from Dulwich Village. |

I so agree with P4, in general that route is becoming one of the most popular in TL, and the areas it serves deserves nicer buses in general...I've seen many 380 fleet buses on it lately as well. 124, 284 would be nice as well for electrics, but good luck waiting for that to happen maybe 5 years or so.

170 with some Caetano eCity Gold's (Sorry I'm dreaming ) I can see there being huge problems with the 170 in couple of years time. Maybe the SEs will be able to survive the next contract tender but the one after I think it will be new buses. The problem is the very low bridge on Lombard road if WS can't fit under it safely then not a chance any electric bus will. |

Have there been any buses developed with the Hydrogen Tank/Electric Tank at the rear of the bus? |

I'm not too sure about the MetroCity, I know there is a version with roof mounted batteries but the 312s buses don't seem to have a roof mounted battery so maybe they could just about get away with it. |

The problem is the very low bridge on Lombard road if WS can't fit under it safely then not a chance any electric bus will. Just had a look at the bridge on Google Maps. The Victoria bound side (being the lowest) is 3m whilst the Streetlite is 2.99. Doesn't that mean it can legally fit? |

The WS were able to fit under the bridge but as the sign above the bridge was slightly wrong TfL wouldn't allow them to go under it. |
